08x22 - Paradise City, Pt. 4

Post by bunniefuu »

I can't believe
the bus was stolen.

I had thousands of dollars
of designer clothes

In those bags.

Peter:
yeah, those would come in handy
on a road trip.

My stickers...

All gone.

Jay:
we'll check into a motel
for the night

And we'll figure out
what to do.

(Cell phone rings)

Hello?

Oh, hi.

Yeah, we're close.
We just ran into a glitch.

You're kidding!

Well...
Well, that's great!

I'm not really sure
where we are right now,

But don't worry,
I can make my own way there.

Thanks. I promise you,
I won't let you down this time.

Okay.

We gotta go!

Peter:
the bus is gone,
remember?

Manny:
yeah, well,
paige is off the movie.

That was mewes;
he fired her

And he wants me
to play trixie!

That's great, boo.
But be reasonable.

You're gonna walk
all the way to hollywood?

Whatever it takes!

Mewes:
I don't know, sir.
None of them are manny.

And manny's lost somewhere.
What if she doesn't make it?

You gotta find a trixie
that works for you, okay?

Right in here,
and you know who that is.

I think you should
follow your heart.

I don't think you should
sell out this quickly.

Took me years, dude,
years.

That's true.
Thanks, sir.

Kevin:
yeah.

Robbie:
paige told me what happened.

Now let's not overreact.

You insisted I use her,
and I tried.

But not only
is she a bad actress,

She has a bad attitude.

Come on.
Work with me here.

Paige is prepared
to accept an apology.

You need me.

Robbie:
this little girl
is creating some good buzz.

And don't forget...

We optioned your story.

The studio owns
"mewesical high."

Look, I'm still director
and I'm recasting.

I want manny santos.

Manny santos?!
Please!
You're kidding!

That girl with
the terrible audition tape?

You can't have manny.
You can have paige.

She's not my trixie.

Then you're fired.

Fired? I quit!

Don't worry,
he doesn't mean it.

Kevin:
oh, I think he does, hon.

I think he does.

(Crows caw)

So how long are you
gonna stay mad at me?

Until we get to hollywood.

You know, we're not gonna walk
all the way there in time!

Are you insane?

Yes, I'm insane!
With rage, towards you!

I have to get that part.

And how could
I possibly know

That someone would wanna
steal a school bus?

How could you possibly
not know

That leaving the keys
in the ignition

Was a stupid idea!

Peter:
guys!

Jay and manny:
what?!

Look over there!

I have a fix
for our petite probleme;

A list of really good
directors.

Any of them would be perfect
for "mewesical high."

How can we possibly make
a movie about mewes' life

Without mewews?

But...
You said he needed me.

You fired him.
It was a bluff!

I thought he'd cave

And we'd just make
the movie.

But you pissed him off,

And now you've gotten
yourself a diva rep.

What?!

You didn't see perez' blog
today?

No one will work
with you now.

I thought perez loved me?

Things change fast
around here.

You can keep the house
for one more week.

Enjoy the pool.

(Lights click off)

Craig:
hey, I'll stay with ellie.

You better get going.

Thanks.
See ya.

(Exhales)

I'm sorry for acting like
such an idiot last night.

Sleep's probably the best thing
right now.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

I wasn't...
(Half laughs)

Trying to k*ll myself.

Craig:
I know.

Marco, um...

He told me about your dad.

I should probably go see him,
right?

When you're ready.

It's just...

I've always been able
to fix things.

You know, like...

My mom.
(Teary breath)

And then you.

My dad watched
his soldiers die.

He's got post traumatic
stress disorder

And...
I know I can't fix that.

No one expects you to.

Craig:
look, after you sleep,
I'll make you some eggs.

If you survive that,

We'll take the next step.
Okay?

Okay.

(Hum of chatter)

You need to print
a retraction.

Do I know you?
Paige michalchuk.

You wrote that "mewesical high"
got cancelled

Because I was being a diva.

Right, I remember now.

Unknown goes back
to being unknown.

No.
No-no-no, please.

You have to help me!
No one will return my calls.

Perez:
then do something interesting.
Maybe then I'll write about it.

Around here,

You're only as hot
as your latest scandal.

Here. An invite to
the premiere of pink r*fle.

Knock yourself out.

Bye.

(Exhales in disbelief)
yes!

Mia:
(half laughs)

I knew these $ leggings
were a good investment.

Peter:
what are you doing?

An old trick
that my mom taught me.

Our car was always
breaking down.

Should last until
the next town.

'Kay, try it now.

(Ignition turns,
engine rumbles)

Mia fixed the bus!

Now who's glad the girlfriend
came along?

I'm going to l.a.
You coming?

♪ Well, let's not be typical ♪

♪ And do this our own way ♪

♪ And we can fight
for what we know ♪

♪ And be there to get paid ♪

♪ Well, let's just be big
and bold ♪

I'm just trying
to be helpful.

I need something to get
my face out there today.

This is my last chance!

I'm ready
for my brazilian.

Paige:
that's it! Thank you!

What?

A commando sh*t!
That'll do it!

Hailey:
good one.
(Laughs)

Marco:
this is what you wanna be
famous for?

Flashing your business
all around town?

Uh...
I don't know, marco.

What are you famous for?

Oh, that's right.
Nothing.

Paige and hailey:
(laugh)

I was happy for you
when you got this gig.

You know, I thought,
hey, you'd finally grow up.

I was wrong.

You know what would be
really nice?

If you had the guts to actually
do something with your own life

Instead of just whining
and judging everyone else.

Wow.

You are still the same
insecure little girl

That you've always been.

Hey, mewes! You have no idea
what we've been through.

But we're in l.a.
Where do we go?

I am so ready for this!

No...

No... No.
I came all this way.

Look! A premiere!

Danny: awesome! See any stars?
Manny: don't worry about it.

Manny:
thanks for calling.

Stop the bus!

I just saw ben affleck!

(Gasps)
stop the bus,
man!

Stop the bus.

Danny, peter, sav and mia:
(overlapping,
awestruck chatter)

But your movie...
Jay, stop the bus.

(Crowd chatters excitedly)

(Buzz of excited chatter)

Paige:
you really think
the photographers'll catch this?

Hailey:
sure. There hasn't been a good
"business sh*t" in days.

(Sighs) it's no biggie.
Just remember:

Hike up your skirt,

Look surprised
and slightly naughty.

What am I doing?

Hailey:
being smart.

This is your last
a-list invite, remember.

You're right.

Both:
(deep inhales)

(Door opens, cameras flash,
crowd cheers)

Paige?

Manny?!

Ohhh!

Owww!

(Shocked gasps and laughter)

Paige:
(pained groan)

Oh my leg!

(Photographers call for hailey)

(Paige grunts in pain,
crowd applauds)

Paige?
Ow! My leg!

It'll be okay.
It'll be okay.

(Pained breaths)
oh my leg.

I should probably just go.

Security can take awhile.

Yeah.
